I always toyed with the idea that Norse in Spain would be called "Nordiberian". No historical basis, but it sounds good and was done by the Celts (Celtiberian).

Its not worth being updated anymore, considering the next DLC will do this already.

Could this be updated?

does this work without northern lords?

Great mod, really enjoying it. I do have one thing (sorry if it's nitpicking). The Russian Norse melting pot shouldn't be Varangian (frankly Russian shouldn't even be a culture present in either bookmark start date, but that's part of a larger discussion). Varangian is a term that refers to Scandinavian traders and mercenaries that were active in the area. Rus is a more fitting term for the melting pot culture.

When you play as Jarl Dyer in Kiev, when you select the "Adopt Varangian Ways" decision the culture does not change at all nor do you gain the innovations of the Russian culture. It just take your gold and prestige and nothing happens.

Any chance for an update for the Langbards before the dlc?

@FlashyDiagram84
Yea for sure, I am super excited for the culture conversion as well, seems like a really elegant solution rather than having create cultures upon cultures on a list. But until then, this is next best thing.

interesting but it will probably become obsolete with the next DLC.

@Odisra Flyrunner

You installed the mod midgame didn't you? That's the cause.

The custom cultures of this mod or Swedish culture don't have it in my save, I'm the only culture that got it for some reason.

Hi, any chance this could be causing some bugs for the Norse/Danish/Swedish/Norwegian cultures? For example, for no reason whatsoever, as a Dane (transitioned from Norse) I have the African Canoes cultural innovation and I get the bonuses.

This is small but I think their is small conflict with mods that add cultural names, flavor, and events. When I load this mod it changes Pegn back to knight. Since this is decision base like Norman could mod be separated from any of cultural files or codes and be put in by itself without overlapping files? Why not just add all these new cultures to the Northern Germanic to create less overlap? Also I like how you included Lombard but why did you pick "Nordic Galician" instead Goths who originally come from same place? Ostrogoth for Norse in Balkans, Byzantium, or Crimea. Until the world wars these groups and very general Germanic language/ethnic family did often associate themselves as one large ranging group even if trivial in actual relationships between themselves at times. The new cultures especially if Pagan likely culturally and religiously tie themselves more so to Norse/North Germanic cultures then their Christian neighbors.

anyway we could get a Norse-arabic melting pot ? a germanic caliphate would just be fantastic

soooo i think a norse-african melting pot, i thought i might conquer all of africa as a norse guy so having a unuique african norse culture would be awesome

Hey, there's some kind of issue going, idk if its conflict another mod or if it's just this mod by itself, but whenever I have this mod enabled the Italian republics have South Arabian culture, please fix this.

Definitely need one for scotland or the isles. Can call them Galloglach which were historical names for norse-scottish (Norse-gaelic) culture/warriors. And it would be cool for a norse-indian culture since theres a theory that harald went to india. Maybe even a secret culture called Vinnish? Based off of vinland.

Also would be interesting for a norse african culture and maybe the option to make norse-bedouin culture or any nomadic culture.

Other than that this is amazing!

In my attempt to play tall... would like to add to the requests for a Norse-Dutch one. Thank you very much for this addon. :)

Norse-Mashriqi please. I want a viking caliphate.

Will there be a Norse-greek culture?

Could we get a Norse-Hungarian melting pot? Would be pretty interesting IMO

(Yes, I know Norman was melting pot culture, but that is kinda old.)

Can you please add a melting pot culture for French? I'd love to start a Neo-Frankish Empire with Franco-Nords.

Love the mod, only thing I miss is the possibility to assign shieldmaidens as the new cultures. Please add that :D

Am having an excellent time playing as Varangian and trying to unite the Slavs, good mod. :)

please add hellenic-norse, Variágoi

Is it just me or is Bretskr culture not working?

I know it's a little silly, but would you be willing to add a culture for Norse rulers in India?
It's a bit off the wall, but I think it would be kind of fun, and since there's already the Far From Home achievement, I think it would be neat to reward the industrious Vikings that find themselves in India.

Is it possible to get a Norse/Baltic culture?

Would be nice if you found a more fitting name for the "Nordic X" cultures since double word cultures look a bit odd on the map

Thanks! Just changed it.

Hey, just conquered holstein and converted to Saxiskr. Only Saxon counties and characters converted however, the Norse counties and characters remained Norse.

As a heads up, I was adding the greek melting pot culture myself, and I noticed "establish_varingian_culture_decision" isn't closed properly. This is because "any_sub_realm_county" isn't closed properly. It could cause issues in the future.

@420 Bake it
You would need to remove the cultures from their culture group and move them to north germanic culture group file.
Go to this mod and copy new culture code (they all have norse in their names) to north germanic files. (common\culture\cultures in the mod files)

@R It's up to More Cultural Names creator.
He adds a file 999_MoreCulturalNames.txt which unfortunately doesn't use culture groups.
He could add code - if there is no culture it would use culture group.

is there a melting pot for scottish?

If I may ask... How would I go about editing the mod for myself so that the added cultures are considered part of the north germanic culture group?

Doesn't work with an existing save. Checked with the console, its because id for cultures get all messed up. Don't know why though.

Norman culture already exist, maybe that has an effect?

Any chance you'd consider adding Varangian as a culture for the Greeks, or some Greek counter-part?

@I feel like Morpheus You should be able to AFAIK

can I add to an existing save

@Kaißar there is a Norse Indian mod already, its in the front page

Can you add an Indian one? (for the memes)

Can you add a Spanish one?

@qareen You can only do each decision once.
@JAck Kohf I plan to do a few more in the future.
Rn I'm reworking decisions so you have to own any duchy under a kingdom with the culture to work. It will make it more likely for AI to do the decisions and you won't have to fight Northumbria to create Anglo-Norse culture.

it appears that the cultures dont form when you take the nessesary descisions?

Do you plan on adding more culture conversions, like greek and tunisian?

@Qareen It might be the parts of England you control, eg Duchy of Jorvik or something, like how for Norse-Irish you have to completely control the Duchy of Meath

Trying this mod for the first time. The AI Norse have changed to Anglo-Norse but hehe.. I cannot find the option to do the same. All I can find is option to switch to vanilla Anglo-Saxon. Is there a special event? It is in the game UI and I am missing it. Or is something wrong?

Why not adding even more melting pots for northern europe :D
